If these herdsmen can't even understand the instructions and can't even stand in a basic queue, then forget about it later.
Now Zhao Ming wants them to continue to strengthen their fixed model.
Therefore, the brothers in Zhensong Army now teach simply and roughly, which can be called simple military training for future generations.
It's just a set of movements that he does back and forth seventeen or eight times, turning left, right, backward, walking, walking in unison, etc.
Let people do it on foot first, and then start practicing on horseback. When riding a horse, you can maintain a consistent formation and a consistent speed to achieve the standard.
However, it is not easy to train these simple movements to form muscle memory.
A few days, even ten days, or even half a month may not be enough.
Because this is different from the later university military training, it also includes cavalry riding and formation training.
If the herdsmen were not all good at equestrian skills, Zhao Ming would have planned to cancel the horse formation training.
After all, for someone who has never ridden a horse, if you want to complete a cavalry formation charge in a short time, it will take more than a few days or more.
I remember that some professional film companies in later generations hired equestrian coaches to train actors in order to pursue scenes of large-scale cavalry charges.
Even if there is a more scientific training model in later generations, it still takes several months.
Therefore, an elite cavalry cannot be created casually.
According to Zhao Ming's thinking, he plans to continue training while doing actual combat.
Before being pulled out for actual combat, you must master basic commands and be able to simply charge in formation.
As for continuity and the like, he doesn't pursue it. The real battlefield may be the best teacher.
Da da da!
At this moment, several fast horses came to the other side of the river covered in frost and fog.
Seeing this, the soldiers from the nearby sentry tower hurried forward and several people carried the wooden bridge to erect it.
This is the scout who was sent out yesterday. There was a rotation in the middle. I think he came back early because he found some information.
"What happened?"
Seeing several people coming forward, Zhao Ming took the lead in asking.
"Master Zhao! He is from Outer Mongolia!"
The leader said something and took a few breaths before continuing,
"We discovered that they had begun to organize their troops and move out early in the morning. An hour ago, about 10,000 to 20,000 troops crossed the two old sites of Darhan Maoming'an in three routes, and headed south in three routes: east, middle, and west.
The specific reason is unknown. At the same time, two groups of cavalry separated dozens of groups to explore the surrounding area. The specific reason is unknown! "
These scouts are all brothers of the Zhensong Army. They will not have too much subjective thinking when reporting, which is very helpful to decision-makers and will not be misled by wrong guesses.
After listening to these, Zhao Ming smiled and nodded, and threw out a box of Hadmen with a dozen or so sticks left in it from his arms.
"Okay, after all your hard work, go back and take a rest."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"
The Zhensong Army man smiled and took the cigarettes, even though a businessman had sent many of them before.
But the brothers, the manager, gave each brother three cigarettes a day, which was simply torture for old smokers like them.
After a few people left, Zhang He couldn't help but said, "It seems that the Outer Mongolians are in a hurry!"
"There must be some urgency. After all, an unknown force like ours has appeared, and they are probably still trying to find us." As Zhao Ming spoke, he subconsciously touched the cigarette, and then remembered that he had just given it to his brothers.
"But don't worry, they won't take action against us before the river freezes."
Zhao Ming breathed softly and looked at the brothers who were transforming into demon instructors in the distance with a smile on their lips.
At the same time, the grassland was already extremely lively, and the large group of Outer Mongolian cavalry began to clean up the shortcomings along the way like a group of bandits sweeping away fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
The leader of the group was about to cross the ramp in front of him, but at the next moment he immediately made a gesture, and at the same time quickly turned over and dismounted and lay down.
Seeing a group of people behind the team stopping one after another, they saw a group of mighty cavalry passing quickly on a large snowfield not far away.
"Outer Mongols?"
The leader muttered and smacked his lips, "Why are the Outer Mongolians here?"
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Some people frowned and asked, if they meet Mongolians here, it seems that the situation in Chahar has been corrupted.
"Well..." The leader rubbed his chin. Reason told him that he should go home, but thinking that he had invested so much and had just given up on seeing some signs of reward, it felt a little depressing no matter how he thought about it.
"You guys go around the area first to get some information. How about going over there to see our customers?"
The person who spoke was none other than Boss Guo.
This time it did take a little longer, but it was only a few days later than the reservation date.
I just didn't expect that the situation in Chahar would take a turn for the worse in just a few days.
——
At the same time, on the other side, in the middle of Chahar, there was also a horse team coming north.
This horse team had been walking for an unknown amount of time, heading north, north, and north. The long journey did not make them feel much. It was something they had become accustomed to. The most painful thing was that this long journey was a bit boring.
"Boss, how long do we have here?"
"Yes! This prairie has no villages or shops. Brothers eat dry food every day and are almost out of sight!"
Listening to the brothers' complaints, the leader frowned and immediately began to curse.
"Damn it, didn't I just fade away like a bird? Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have followed you poor guys.
Wouldn't it be better to go back to your hometown and become a rich man? "
Zhang Kai held a piece of dry grass in his mouth and his mouth was full of bitterness.
Although I was well prepared for this trip to the north, I still underestimated the time and mental training it would take.
Although there are so many people marching, there are not many people who are short-sighted who dare to come here to catch the autumn breeze. However, they are poor themselves. They can get a hot bite at first when passing through some towns. Later, the money is not enough, so they can only camp outside to eat. Living on dry food.
"Boss, didn't Zhao Tou give you some small yellow croakers before? Don't think that the brothers didn't see it!"
"That's right!"
Everyone agreed. After hearing this, Zhang Kai became even more angry.
"Damn it, I don't need to give you Qiu Ba'an family expenses? Tell me, which one of you didn't I give you a large amount of money before departure?"
Zhang Kai glared at everyone with raised eyebrows.
His image in the military was indeed not very good before. He was paid from free money and used his connections to seize military supplies and resell them.
But the money accumulated during the battle for Fengxiang City was divided into hundreds and distributed to the families of the brothers who died in the battle.
Of course, he must have left some money for himself, but he also sent it to his family.
"Okay, it should be soon. Didn't we inquire clearly just now? This is the middle of Chahar. It is estimated that it is several hundred miles north of Chahar.
I heard that there is plenty of beef and mutton on the grassland, so when the time comes we will eat and drink. "
But just as Zhang Kai was laughing, he saw a large group of people heading here despite the wind and snow not far away.
